Instructions:

Welcome to your no-prep therapy kit for working on the /g/ sound. This kit will take you from isolation to the sentence level. Once the child completes this kit, you can move on to our carry-over and generalization kit. How to Use this Kit:

1. Print this packet and put it in the child’s folder or notebook. 2. Work on the first phase in therapy.

3. When the child has mastered that phase, take out that page and send it home as homework. 4. Work on the next phase in therapy while the parents are reinforcing the previous phase at home. Therapy Overview:

This kit is broken down into the following phases:

1. /g/ in Isolation: Student will produce the /g/ sound in isolation (by itself, not in a word or with other sounds)

2. /g/ in Syllables: Student will produce the /g/ sound in non-sense syllables

3. /g/ in Words: Student will produce the /g/ sound in all positions of single words (beginning of the word, middle of the word, and end of the word)

4. /g/ in Phrases: Student will produce the /g/ sound in all word positions of 2-3 word phrases

5. /g/ in Sentences: Student will produce the /g/ sound in all word positions of simple sentences

Once you’ve completed the kit, you can move on to the next skill that the child needs to work on. Modifications:

Some children will need modifications made to this kit. Here are some suggestions if you are working with a child who is struggling with any of these steps:

1. Check out the additional training videos on this page: https://members.slpsolution.com/g-articulation-activities/

2. If the child is having trouble producing the /g/ sound, trying using a lollipop, tongue depressor, or the child’s finger to hold down the tip of the tongue. You can also have the child start with a coughing or growling sound in the back of the mouth and transform that into a /g/ sound.

Phase One: Isolation Instructions:

Have the child practice saying the /g/ sound in isolation (by itself, not in a word) in the following activities. Place the page in a plastic page protector and use a dry erase marker. Or, just have the child trace each item with his/her finger.

Activity One: Trace the letters while you practice saying the /g/ sound by itself.

Activity Two: Touch each green light as you say the /g/ sound by itself.

Activity Three: Trace the lines as you say the /g/ sound over and over again.

Activity Four: Color in one bubble each time you say the /g/ sound.
